Architecture of Compassion- Music

This year the 8th OPMH Architecture of Compassion series will feature preforming artists in our community who have followed their heart and dedicated their unique artistic skills and talents to nurturing in-person social connections that foster both mental and physical healing through shared experiences.

Our speaker today is Kevin Leong, the Director of Music Therapy Education for A Place To Be, a nonprofit music therapy center in Leesburg and Middleburg. He is interested in using music as a tool to build community, connection, and wellness. This talk will consist of didactic and experiential activities that demonstrates the use of music in individual and communal settings to enhance wellbeing in a diverse range of communities, including folks who are neurodivergent, with mental health needs, or with neurologic conditions across the age range. https://aplacetobeva.org/staff/
